Chapter Twenty-Three: Walking with Her on the North Shore of the Lake
At 14:50 in the afternoon, three buses stopped in a spacious square in the remote suburbs, "We will leave on time at four o'clock, please get on the bus at three fifty." The uniformed civil servant commanded the crowd in the car.
When Zhu Jia just got off the car, he saw that the surroundings were empty, and the rear was the Lanyue Bay villa area, and the students who got off the bus walked in groups or alone towards the distance, because he lived in a room at night and did not know his classmates, and did not want to mix into a circle that he did not know out of thin air, he followed to a high platform more than ten meters away, and looked around, in the distance was an endless river, and he could see a high-speed crossing the lake five or six kilometers away from the shore. Zhu Jia opened his phone and checked it, and he looked at the lake.
"This lake is so big, you see, the place we are on the map is here." In a five-person team in front of her, a girl said in surprise to her classmates.
Zhu Jia walked to the lake, looked around the lake and saw two directions, the right side was too ordinary, and the left side saw a towering building at a glance, he remembered that a few months ago a student who was not very familiar with him posted such a building in a friend, and vaguely remembered this twenty-story 'Star of the Lake' sightseeing tower. He walked along the shore towards the distant side, looking at the crowd of men and women in front of him, he suddenly felt a little lonely, there was a visitor center on the left side, he avoided the crowds, and when he walked in, he happened to see a girl with a fashionable high sun hat sitting in a pavilion on the side of the road, the sun shone on her black high heels, and her slender white and tender legs could be seen along the top, and when she walked by her side, she happened to see a pair of charming eyes looking at herself.
………
She didn't expect to see him here, it should be said that when she saw the surrounding lake coasts that can only be regarded as attractions in the city, she completely lost interest, she once went to high school in Changzhou from primary school to high school, and her grades have always belonged to the middle of the class, she didn't like to dress up back then, she was so ordinary, so that no high school boy pursued herself after graduation, it was so simple, when she was in high school classmates and did not watch the teacher together, there was only one boy who was a civil servant in the field replied to himself. When she started dressing up as an undergraduate, it was all similar, and she remembered a classmate saying to her, 'You are the goddess in the hearts of many boys, but it's too cold for people to approach.'"
Her college entrance examination was brought to Shanghai by her parents, but she has never been a person here for ten years, when she saw that there were teachers in the master's group recommended here, she did not hesitate to sign up, and it was the first time that the media was marrying the local government to take them out to play, she did not take this event as a way to lure herself to work. A person was in the corner of the city, and a strange silhouette came over in her afterglow.
"Seven years, I didn't expect that I had graduated from high school for so long." She seems to be a woman who has experienced the vicissitudes of life, looking at the empty lake scene, a few groups of students in the distance, and the wind brings the lake in the distance to sparkle one after another.
"Is that you?" She heard a boy's surprised voice.
She recognized the person's appearance, and her heart was shocked as if she was electrocuted, and her undisturbed heart seemed to be rippling.
"Hello." She seemed to have not spoken in a long time, and her voice was a little hoarse in response.
"You are the student who participated in the master's and doctoral activities together, I saw you today." When the young man saw that she had returned to himself, and seeing that her face was very approachable, he boldly walked under the awning.
She nodded and motioned for him to sit down, but her heart was restraining herself, so much so that she could feel her hands trembling gently when she waved her hand to him, and this handsome guy from FD was really sitting next to her, as if in a dream: "Why didn't you go with your classmates?" “
"I don't know anyone, so I can only walk around alone." Zhu Jia sat on a white chair beside her, looked at her and said.
"Me too, several of my peers are from other majors, and they are all seeing each other for the first time." As she spoke, she couldn't help but say a few more words. ”
"Why don't we both walk together. It's not yet three o'clock, and there's still an hour to gather. He proposed.
She saw him look expectantly at herself.
"Okay." After all, she was not the girl she was back then, and a smile bloomed on her face, but she didn't know that at this moment, she had fascinated the young man next to her.
"Hmm." He smiled at her very seriously, it was hard to imagine how worried he was about her rejection just now, maybe he was too embarrassed to leave quickly at that moment.
The autumn breeze along the coast is very cool on the body, just like the smell of the sea water in this lake, and it is rare to smell it with freshness.
Still on the shore of the lake at the beginning of the twentieth century, two young men and women who were taller than the people around her, the weeping willows beside her fluttering in the sea breeze, she seemed to remember that when she was 5 or 6 years old, she was still in her hometown village, her father was studying for a doctorate in Shanghai, and her mother was also working there to accompany her, her life was plain and leisurely, watching the smoke from the chimney of the house, the large vegetable garden in front of her, and the other elders of the family were bending down to choose vegetables.
"Are you from the Chinese Division?" His words brought her into reality.
She was a little incredulous, and suddenly asked with a mysterious look on her face, "How do you know?" ”
"I just happened to see it today. It's easy for a girl like you to get noticed. Zhu Jia met her gaze and saw her beautiful face, which made her heart move, and felt that her whole heart had been purified, and all the original depression disappeared. I went to the Minhang Campus of Jiaotong University in mid-July this summer to do a survey, and by the way, I went to your school to have a look, and I heard a classmate say that there are too few girls in Jiaotong University, and boys like to go to your school for self-study at night. ”
"Seems like so." She nodded in agreement, and her goose-egg-shaped face was white, tender and clean, like that of an eighteen-year-old girl. "I think you seem to be fd."
Zhu Jia was so excited when he heard this, and said with a surprised face: "Do you also pay attention to me." ”
"Actually, you're pretty handsome." Yang Lan's voice was a little soft.
As soon as Zhu Jia heard her say this, her heart suddenly let go, "Actually, when I registered last night, I was behind you, and I was fascinated by you when I saw you." He finally said what he wanted to say.
She didn't answer, her heart was extremely chaotic at the moment, 'What does it mean for a boy who has a good impression of himself to say such a thing to himself?' While she was still looking into the distance, she felt an electric shock on her hand, and her hand was lightly touched.
He felt her resistance, but he couldn't suppress it in his heart, and his right hand gripped her left hand, and her face was crimson and red. Led by him like this, the two of them did not speak for a while, until on the wooden path from the shore to the observation tower, he took her to stop in front of the railing, looking at the lake at his feet, and the wind blew through the continuous ripples to bring the light in the distance.
She still remembered that at the top of the tower, the wind around her was blowing violently, her body seemed to be blown away, and the bridge that stretched for miles across the lake in the distance, he was watching the gradually falling sunlight beside him, and hugged herself warmly, from that moment on, her world was like a lake that had been quiet for a long time.
